Native Swedish speaker with a standard Stockholm accent. I have taught Swedish for a couple of years to students of various backgrounds, from teenagers learning Swedish at school to professionals moving to Sweden for work. I can help you practise conversation on both everyday and specialized topics, as well as reading, writing and grammar. If you want to prepare for the national language exam TISUS I have experience doing this as well. I love talking and listening to people, I’m really good at grammar and I have a huge vocabulary.
Most of my lessons are based on conversation, that is, we talk to each other and every now and then we take a little break to focus on some particular item of grammar or vocabulary which appears in the conversation. The conversation can be really simple or very complex, but it’s almost always fun! I take notes during the lesson and during subsequent lessons we use these notes to rehearse and develop particular themes.
It’s also fun to discuss peculiarities of Swedish culture, I have lived in several countries and will recognize and help you discover some strange aspects of living in Sweden. And if you are moving there and need help with some practicalities I am happy to do this as well.
As far as formal experience goes, I have university degrees in Classics, Philosophy and Mathematics and have worked as a qualified high school teacher in Sweden.

With his supreme ability in explaining grammar and fine-tuning nuances of the Swedish language, Melker has helped me pass the most challenging parts of the Tisus exam within a short period of three months. No previous tutor has made me feel internally the same degree of transformation. I’m so glad that I picked him! His patience and resourcefulness have also provided much comfort at times of distress during test preparation. This review is long overdue but not without the sincerest gratitude! Tack så mycket, min vän.

I've had several lessons with Melker now and plan to work with him regularly. He seems to be a skilled linguist, and his lessons are interesting and enjoyable. He has a neat trick of typing corrections to my Swedish even as I speak, so that sometimes I can see and receive improvements without breaking the flow of trying to speak the language.

Melker is friendly and easy to talk to. I liked that he was flexible in his lesson, incorporating both a structured and casual approach depending on what we were discussing or trying to achieve. I liked that he takes a technical approach to language learning as he was knowledgeable throughout the lesson with various grammar and vocabulary topics. Highly recommended!
